Timelies all!
Yay, Sophia!
Congrats to MedicGuy!
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Sophia, that's great news! As is Maria's news about MedicGuy!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have to post what I texted to Maria. I know it is not the end of the line. I know I have a lot of work. But
I kind of can't believe (so far) how well this has worked out. Like it needed to happen to free me. The Buffy people were great, you are great, the ServePro people were great, the therapist is great, my work was great, theatre is dealing and I got through it when I just wanted to run away and hide. I am waiting for the other shoe to drop (hopefully I am not fired after this week off, which is always my anxiety)
Guys, everything is so clean!

I am now making a deal with Maria's teenaged son to take out my garbage every Sunday night for $20. He already does his grandma's and it is within walking distance. He and I share a lot of executive function issues, so I am hoping this will be good for both of us, and earn him $20 a week ($50 this weekend because I have extra) I really liked that my therapist agreed that it isn't so much that I have to change me, I just have to have coping mechanisms set up, because, as she assured me, I am not as pathological as I fear!

The deal is done. A will come Sundays at 6 to take out my garbage and do my bidding for an hour or so. And pet the kitty.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Would watch. I'm envisioning something like Homefront + Foyle's War + magic realism

She sounds so great, Sophia. And YAY CLEAN.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm here for that.
And what a good idea re: Maria's son, Sophia.
You guys, I know someone who dressed her twin babies as Belle and the Beast. That doesn't seem right!!
I dressed as Hermione for band tonight (had a robe, bought a tie at Goodwill, borrowed a pin-on watch from my mother), so now I feel like I have two good costumes for the future!

Our wings are not tired.
I'm so happy this is going so well, Sophia! I know how hard it was to tackle this and it is something you really should be proud of accomplishing.
Yay, MedicGuy! Wow, time does fly.
Getting ready for the onslaught of kiddos seeking treats. They have a big party in the park each year and lots of kids were there so I am .... and this is how far I got before the doorbell started and I blew through 150 pieces of candy in no time flat and had to send DH out for more.
So finishing post started hours ago........

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I started onboarding my replacement today. By the end of the day I let her know how everything went down and that not only do I not have an end date, I have not turned in a resignation yet.
She seems good though, so basically I can train her how and in a way that makes it last 3 months if I want.
